Psychologists are always trying to understand the diverse ways that trauma affects a person. As Counsellors and Psychotherapists, we want to help you as a client become aware of these effects so that we can apply appropriate treatments and help you reset your life.

How our physical body responds to trauma will change as time passes. Initially, the reactions might be recognized as shock. These are the fight or flight responses as our bodies go into survival mode. Over time, as we start to process the events, our bodies will shift out of overdrive and may present new responses to the trauma.
